Brewed for the final round of the National Homebrewers Competition 2016 in 2 categories:

1.  American IPA
2.  Fruit Beer (American IPA with Mango)

For the fruit beer portion I added Olive Nation mango extract to taste
(6 mL / 12 oz bottle after filling).

I named this beer **13 Grand Tutors**. I've been mining a list of [Shaw
brothers
films](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Shaw_Brothers_films) for
beer names, which has worked well so far. I recently realized there were
13 hop additions in this beer—like *just now*.

The fruit beer is named **Sweet Memories**, another Shaw brother's film.
